Although it took about 12 calls, he finally heard me. His call was 95AT102. Naran said because of all the QRM it was hard to hear anyone else. Made it with just a S5. This makes the 3 contact to Mongolia since 2003, when I get his qsl card I will post it.

Got lucky on this one. 164AT/DX - TOGO a small country in Africa. Just 3 calls and I was in the log with a S5. Oh - one more thing - just 100 watts from the 7300 did the job!

Made a nice contact to 58RC001 (Helmy) in East Malaysia this early evening. He was also working a lot of stations in S. America. S5 on the signal. He told me I was his 1st contact to N. America..... Then a few minutes later I was in QSO with my good friend Jan from Thailand and 155da441 (Gary)...

Well I worked Igor again from Hong Kong tonight and also a long time radio friend from Thailand - Jan I use to talk to Jan when he was living in the Netherlands and head of the IR radio club back in 2000. So it was nice to chat with him again.

Well groundwire here is a couple cards of my 11 meter contacts to China, just so you can believe it.

There is a lot of Japanese using the 11 meter band. I can here them just about everyday through the winter mo's, when we are close to the peak of cycle. I have only made contact to the China mainland 4 or 5 times on 11 meters, but now there is about 4 stations that are active from Hong Kong...

It took several try's, but finally got through the traffic from Brazil. Got to him with a S5 and a 100 watt Icon 7300. This makes the 4th contact to Hong Kong over the years, all on 11 meters. Been also busy working lots of Finland, Sweden and many others from over there. The next 2 mo's should...

The 1st thing I would do would be to remove the amp. when the swr is high, then recheck. Then you will know if it's in the feed line, antenna or amp. It might also be in the radio..........

These noises are typical for when we get closer to the "peak" of the cycle, they are really more pronounced on 27.555. Chris if you had a beam and would point it towards Alaska, then you would really hear the stronger signals. Lots of FM/AM signals will be showing up from Japan and along the...

Here in Washington, back in the 60's, I could pick up WLS in Chicago. That was on a small alarm clock radio with a wire running from the back of it up to one of the tv guy lines. Summer time only tho.

I have a 2970N2, got it about 5 mo's after they 1st came out. I have notice the "white noise" is less on this radio than all my other 29750's/2970's dx models. Buy using a "clear speech" speaker from West Mountain Radio, the "white noise" is more tolerable.

Groundhog - I had the same antenna mounted on the roof of my old F150 for about 6 yrs, I was very pleased with it. There are a couple things you should do to make sure that the antenna is really working good. 1) Put a antenna analyzer on it. 2) Make sure all the coils are evenly spaced before...

groundwir - at that moment we were on 27.545 usb. Blackcat63 - was nice to chat with you also, you have excellent audio from that radio.

Yesterday evening just close to dark here on the coast, Philippines was coming pretty strong around 6:00 Pacific time and while I was scanning the upper 11 meter band, I came across two guys talking. As it turned out I had just talked to the two of them and they were talking to a friend that I...

Alabama Buckeye - that's what I also loaded for my 270, I first started with 130 gr. but that was to light, bullet completely "blew up" inside a couple inches on a Black tail deer. I then went up the 140gr and that worked pretty good. I also loaded my '06 with the 150gr B-Tip, excellent accuracy...

BigLou - this may help you. http://www.qrz11.com/upload/QRZ11-DXCC-MAP.jpg

Nosler ammo has always been high priced. I use to reload a lot of their Ballistic Tip and Partition bullets, but no more.

This is the one that I go to - Ammo Search

Activation from 197 div. is now going. Freq. 27.580 usb. Full call is 197DA/OC035 (Vanuatu - IRIRIKI Is.) Good luck
